Pope Francis Shows Improvement

Pope Francis is showing signs of improvement after 15 days of treatment for bilateral pneumonia at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. The Vatican reported Friday that the Pope had a restful night and continues his breathing physiotherapy. Although his condition is “complex,” Vatican sources confirmed that the Pope is not in critical condition.

His health updates have been closely followed, with recent tests showing a “normal evolution” of the infection and an improvement in kidney function. However, doctors remain cautious, as his prognosis is still guarded. The Pope, 88, has battled respiratory issues in the past and had been showing signs of fatigue before his hospitalisation on February 14.

Despite his health struggles, Pope Francis remains active, spending time in prayer and receiving the Eucharist. He also engaged in work-related activities, sending messages to the Pontifical Institute of Liturgy. His supporters have gathered outside the hospital, expressing their care and prayers for his recovery.

The Pope’s condition continues to stabilise, but the Vatican urges ongoing prayers for his full recovery.
